OptQuest

The world’s leading simulation optimization engine

OptQuest is our proprietary simulation optimization engine, built on a truly unique set of powerful algorithms and sophisticated analysis techniques including tabu search and scatter search, evolutionary algorithms, and response surface models applied dynamically for best performance based on your problem variable types, constraints, and objectives. As a result, OptQuest enables users to shift from a “What if?” approach to a “What’s best?” approach.

Through the Power of Optimization, OptQuest

OptQuest enables organizations who perform analysis with simulation models to shift from a “What if?” approach to a “What’s best?” approach.

Delivers the best possible answers—faster

OptQuest searches, adjusts and analyzes input values and identifies the best possible outcomes with unparalleled efficiency, thanks to its built-in algorithms and analysis techniques.

Handles competing objectives with ease

All complex models and challenges present you with competing objectives. OptQuest simultaneously analyzes competing objectives and identifies the optimal trade-offs, allowing decision makers to choose from the best set of choices.

Automates the entire process

Once OptQuest is integrated into your simulation tool, it automates the execution of the simulation to find the best solutions in the minimum amount time.

Optimization Improves Decision-Making

OptQuest adds the power of optimization to your simulations, using a truly unique set of advanced algorithms and analysis techniques to improve your decision making and give you the best, most reliable results. And we can fully automate the optimization and analysis of your simulations for maximum efficiency.

Ease of Integration

Thanks to its unique design, OptQuest is easy to add to your simulation tool. It has a well-defined API and integration examples and is available in Java, Python, C#, COM, and as a self-hosted or AWS web service.

The More Complex, The Greater the savings

Highly complex simulation models present greater numbers of inputs and competing objectives. OptQuest was designed to determine the best possible outcomes when faced with high levels of complexity.

Protects from Loss

When experienced analysts leave your organization, it can create an “expertise gap.” By automating the simulation optimization and analysis process, OptQuest helps protect you from the loss of valuable organizational experience and knowledge.

Work with OptTek

As an optimization software and services company, OptTek offers software products and consulting services to customers and clients. Most customers obtain our software through our channel partners who market and sell OptQuest and SimWrapper bundled into their software suites.

We also sell our software directly when customers need a specific optimization technology best provided by our algorithms.

For clients with challenging problems requiring optimization formulation and solutions, OptTek also provides consulting services delivered by our principals who bring a world class reputation in the field to the engagement.

Work with OptTek Directly

An organization searching for optimization technology as a standalone solution can acquire our software directly. If our products are not suitable we can explore a custom solution or point you to another provider that may meet your needs.
